How do you play the signature holes at Wade Hampton?

Hole 4 at Wade Hampton is a 523-yard par 5 that plays as the 1st-handicap hole. As the hardest-rated hole on the scorecard, treat par as a good score here — a bogey on hole 4 costs you less than a double made chasing a hero shot. At 523 yards, longer hitters can consider reaching in two, but the percentage play is a comfortable layup that leaves a full wedge into the green. Local note: Three-shot it: 3W right, 5i layup, 56-degree into the green — no heroics.

Hole 6 at Wade Hampton is a 141-yard par 3 that plays as the 17th-handicap hole. At 141 yards, this is a short iron or wedge for most players; the priority is controlling distance and taking a committed swing at the center of the green. Local note: Easy 9i to the center — avoid short-siding yourself on this short par 3.

Hole 16 at Wade Hampton is a 427-yard par 4 that plays as the 4th-handicap hole. At 427 yards, a fairway-finder off the tee leaves a short-to-mid iron approach; favor the fat side of the green and keep the ball below the hole. Local note: 3W far right off the tee, 8i aimed right of flag — big draw, aim at center-right.

Who is Wade Hampton a good course for?
